Solid has been providing innovative database solutions since 1994, extending its product line in 2006 to serve the growing demand for open source, mission-critical databases. In partnership with MySQL, Solid contributed its core transactional technology to the open source community to further the adoption of open source databases among enterprises seeking fast and scalable database solutions.

In January 2007, Solid announced plans to continue delivering highly differentiated capabilities in solidDB for MySQL, including options for always-on data availability, in-memory performance, and powerful bi-direction data distribution.

While Solid works to deliver these powerful functionalities, users can already take advantage of version 5.0 of solidDB for MySQL which is downloadable from Solid's website at http://dev.solidDB.com.
